Hunger Strike

This lady is lodged outside Can Berga, the Audiencia Provincial de Baleares (Magistrate’s Court) in Palma de Mallorca in a hunger strike protest. Her daughter is a mother that has lost custody of two of her children, for reasons unknown to anyone.

The grandmother claims her family’s rights within the Spanish Constitution and deplores injustice and complicity infringed on herself and her family. Apparently, this is her 8th hunger strike vigil in four years.

The photo was taken in Palma de Mallorca, Baleares, Spain. The date: May 22nd, 2008. The time was 12:40:17.
